No, I’m Not Sorry

No, I’m Not Sorry

I’m tired of apologising for being who I am.
Tired of being expected to apologise for hurting your feelings when I’m merely staying true.
I’m tired of feeling sorry for saying “I’m sorry” without having considered whether I was really sorry or not.
“Sorry” for brushing against you on a crowded bus, for asking for help because I can’t find my way, for not knowing you were waiting BEHIND me wanting to get by…. Tired of hearing, feeling, saying sorry just for the heck of it.
“Stop being a coward.”
I remind myself, “Just be aware and be you.”
….Can I get an “Amen” or a “Naymen”?
